Default 1000 Islands Smallie

Fishing is tough this year in the 1000 Islands. We’d pick one or two at each or our deep water summer spots where they’re usually stacked up but that’s it. Stuck with it and weeded through some dinks and finally managed this one on a whacky rigged Senko...

Nice bronze. Try Ned rigged TRDs or TRD tubes/craws for finicky smallies...

Nice one cap!

x2 on the ned rigged TRD, i once had one dangling off the side of my kayak only 6 inches under the surface of the water while I was adjusting my seat and a smallie came up out of 15 FOW and slammed it. They work!
